Recent article related to his disappearance/death

Rick Anderson, In 1972, Two U.S Representatives Boarded a Plane and Disappeared. What Happened?, Seattle Weekly, November 3, 2015. Probably worth mining. - Jmabel | Talk 06:18, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is a fun read, but it uses a formula common to many conspiracy theories. First, a big wig dies "mysteriously". Second, someone claims to be responsible for the death or have knowledge of who did it. Third, an author exploits some tenuous connections between some the characters involved - most of them are usually dead - then writes a book about it. In this case, Hale Boggs and Nick Begich die in a place crash. Begich's widow then later marries Jerry Max Pasley, an ex-con who claimed to have knowledge that other unidentified or dead people were involved in bringing down the plane. Jonathan Walczak writes a book based on those claims. If we keep WP:REDFLAG in mind, I'm not sure what we would mine for use in the article. - Location (talk) 04:17, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update on search and ELT information 0510 UTC 04 October 2017

Greetings. I updated the information on the search and the ELT in particular. I removed the sentence that stated the accident prompted Congress to pass a law mandating ELTs, which had been here since 2005 without a citation. As my replacement text explains, the ELT law was passed by Congress before the crash. The effective date of the federal law was too far in the future for some Alaskans, so a state law with an earlier effective date, which predated the crash, was passed. I copied some of this verbatim to the Nick_Begich page. Kotaqua (talk) 05:29, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Warren Commission

The assertion that Boggs dissented or had doubts about the Warren Commission findings has no evidence, except for an unreferenced Politico article. The assertion should be removed.Argentine84 (talk) 18:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
